St Bede's is seeking a self-motivated person to join its team of cover supervisors; full training will be provided. The working hours for this post are 08:15 to 15:15, Monday to Friday (with a 30-minute unpaid lunch break) during term-time only. You will work with students and staff across the school, and the work is varied; in any one day you could cover lessons in a diverse range of subject areas, including desk-based learning and practical subjects such as physical education, or you could provide administrative support to middle leaders if the requirement for lesson cover is low.
Inside the classroom, your core focus will be delivering the work set by the absent teacher and maintaining a structured, productive environment. You will take accurate attendance registers, introduce the lesson, clearly explain tasks, and assist pupils with their work and queries. You will manage classroom behavior in accordance with school policies, handle immediate issues or emergencies, and collect all completed work at the end of the period to return to the department.
When not needed for classroom supervision, your duties will include supporting academic departments.
Please note, applications will be reviewed upon receipt and as such this vacancy may close earlier than the deadline advertised. Early applications are encouraged.
Support staff are valued members of the school community and fill vital roles. They are respected for the expertise they bring to their area of work. St Bede’s supports the professional development of its staff and takes staff wellbeing very seriously.
Annual salary reflects the contractual hours and weeks per year and is calculated using a Surrey Pay formula which includes payment in respect of statutory annual leave allowances. Salary is paid in 12 equal monthly instalments.
